I had my appendix taken out 15-17yrs ago.

think it took me a week to get back to working condition, but I didn't feel comfortable to exercise until about a month or so after the operation. wasn't really that awful, but ymmv I suppose.

I had mine out when I was 10, 11 years ago. I remember eating as soon as I got out the hospital. Needless to say I puked it back out. I think I was out of action for two weeks, from the time I went in the hospital to have it out, until the time I went back to school.

I had mine out in like 3rd grade. The hospital was awesome. Hot nurse and tons of ice cream.

I remember the nurse hooked me up to a Morphene machine. I was to press the button every time I started to hurt.

Being ten, being bored, and having a button to press, I pressed it constantly. My mum was sitting next to me, and realised what was happening. My eyes rolled back in to my head and I started druelling! I was having the time of my life!! I don't actually remember the eyes rolling back bit, but my mum remembers well! The next thing I remember is laughing and puking.

She made the nurse take me off the machine, lol :(

i had mine taken out in september last year. Was yours open or just the 3 minor incisions?

I had the 3 incisions and i felt normal within 2 weeks and couldnt workout without pain for about 3 weeks afterwards.

I ate ice cream, yogurt, soups, jello. Light stuff really, doctor told me not to eat anything really solid until bowel movements started.

Take it easy for a few days, try your best not to cough, laugh or sneeze, cause it will FUCKING HURT.

Laughing hurts like hell after the op. Watching epsiodes of Men Behaving Badly in the hospital bed was a bad idea.

WOW, 2 years ago, on a Tuesday night, I ate some Jack in the box before midnight. I couldn't sleep that night b/c my stomach was hurting.

I thought it was just food poisoning so I just drank hella water and tried to tough it out. The next evening, I was still in pain but my stubborn ass was like, "fucking jack in the crack!! I'm never eating there again!" Still oblivious to what was really going on. Barely any sleep

The NEXT evening, Thursday night, I was still in pain but I was trying not to let it get to me. When I convince myself 100% that its just the stomach flu, you can't tell me otherwise so I called in sick again and stayed home and yacked everything I ate/drank. Couldn't sleep straight b/c I kept waking up in pain.

Friday morning, my (at the time) pregnant g/f was craving some Jamba Juice so I DROVE a few towns over to get her some. I stayed in the car while she got it but I was still in pain, sweating and hunched over and all.

Later that afternoon, my g/f decided to look online to see what other illness I may have had. Webmd.com had a description of symptoms EXACTLY like what I had. Illness = appendicitis!

Went to the ER, surgery, 5 days of recovery (antibiotics for infection) and a 5 1/2" gash in my side.

Imagine I ruptured my appendix early wednesday morning and didn't get treatment until friday evening! WTF I'm so stubborn

2 weeks later I felt 'somewhat' normal. G/L with it

it was so good i finished most and went to sleep i woke up on saturday morning feeling like shit i drove 20 miles to pick up gf to hangout i got to her house and i went upstairs to her room and told her i didnt feel good


and with out warning she pushed on bed and had sex 2 times nin the same day oncie then and then later on at night. i admit it did make my pain did go away keep in mind she did all the work :D then on sunday i drove her to my house when my parents left i told her i still didnt feel great from stomach and she said you need some rest and you can guess what happened she pulled the pants off and said ill make you feel better.

it was great pain went away then came back later parents came back and i was admitted to the hospital the doc asked me if it hurts when he push on the area and let go and i said nope felt no pain so thats why it felt good when she was on top
